Our newly improved and modern establishment, fully 
equipped, enables us to promptly fill orders of any extent, 
and certain, in an approved manner. 

An established reliability and experience, here, in the 
exacting cut flower trade, gives assurance that orders will 
be properly filled, and as ordered. It is conceded that we 
excel in arrangements of flowers suited to special uses. Com- 
petitors may imitate, but they do not, in any strict sense, 
follow. The necessity of entrusting orders for fine flowers 
and designs only to florists of known taste and ability, is 
evident. 

Quality ia our aim, yet not made at undue cost. Buyers 
may rely on getting full value for their outlay each and 
every time. 

This Catalogue illustrates floral effects for funeral 
occasions, listed in many sizes, with prices. All necessary 
ordering details are given complete. The pictures are from 
photographic reproductions of actual made-up designs in 
fresh flowers, so the character of the blooms employed is 
accurately shown, also the important essential of the true 
appearance of finished work. 



No. 42. Wreath, Solid Style and Decorated.

Flowers in any form can be packed so they will travel perfectly by express, at any season 
of the year. We do this, and make no additional charge for packing. .

In this business, experienced judg- 
ment must often be applied, so that 
needed results will follow certain, 
and mistakes be avoided. This also 
makes it imperative that orders for 
fine Howers or designs be entrusted 
only to experienced florists of known 
taste and ability. 



We keep posted on the new- 
est and up-to-date ideas in

HOW TO ORDER FLOWERS BY EXPRESS. 



Flowers, carefully packed as we send them, carry for two or three days' journey by express. 

State time flowers are wanted, either early or late. Give an idea of what you desire — quantity, 
quality, and price — that we may study your special wants. Measurements given refer to finished sizes. 

To give us ample time, by ordering early, will be to your advantage. If we cannot supply your order 
we will reply at once by mail ; or, if notice is short, by telegraph. 

If no time is mentioned, flowers go by first train after order is received. 

All orders sent by express ; none by mail, being too uncertain. 

Write items distinctly, in lines or paragraphs, or on sheets separate from the letter. 

Owing to the expense of proper packing and shipping, orders for less than $i.oo are not solicited. 

[MPORTANT. 

Orders by telegraph or telephone. When llowers, etc. , are wanted the same day or next, it is best 
to telegraph or telephone. The following Cipher Code will be found useful, and saves cost on telegrams. 



Wool— Send on afternoon train today. 
Wonder — Send on early train tomorrow. 
World — Send on afternoon train tomorrow. 
Wave — Send today or on early train tomorrow. 
Anticipate — Answer whether you can fill order or not. 
Adjacent — If cannot send on train mentioned, next one 

will do. 
Decorate — If cannot send all on train mentioned, send 

balance on next train. 



Driving — No substitution allowable. Fill order as given. 
Flocking — Have sent mail order ; if not yet received, 

send following at once, and cancel mail order. 
Durable — White flowers only, for funeral purposes. 
Dilate — Flowers for funeral purposes, at your discretion. 
Flowers (or Cut Flowers) — Assorted colors and kinds 

are desired. 
Hail — Prepay express charges and charge to me. 
Snow — This is for a token, my card to accompany same. 



TERMS OF BUSINESS, ORDERING, ETC. 

References positively required from strangers desiring to open accounts. Telegrams and answers to 
same must be paid for by party inquiring or ordering. Send remittances by bank draft, post-office or 
express company orders, or registered letter. 

N. B. — When not definitely advised otherwise with the order, we reserve the privilege, at our discre- 
tion, to substitute other flowers or designs of similar character or nature, instead of those ordered ; the 
uncertainty of supply or assortment necessitating this at times. The naming of a second desired choice of 
design or flowers is solicited, especially on short-notice orders.
